An ab initio study on the structure of cyanuric fluoride

by Liu, Ruifeng; Zhou, Xuefeng

The equil. structure of cyanuric fluoride was optimized at both the SCF and second-order Moeller-Plesset (MP2) levels of theory. The MP2 geometrical parameters are in good agreement with electron-diffraction results, and, therefore, the electron-diffraction structure of cyanuric fluoride is theor. confirmed. The calcd. rotational const. of the MP2/6-311G* structure was only about 0.16% smaller than that from the high-resoln. spectroscopic studies. The good agreement between the calcd. rotational const. and that from the spectroscopic studies resolves the controversy concerning the mol. structure of cyanuric fluoride noted previously.
